Free breakfast seminar: 16 July at 9am  Green Infrastructure - connected and multifunctional landscapes
Green infrastructure is a critical approach to landscape management, design and planning. To mark the publication of the Landscape Institute's new position statement on this important subject, the LI and WRAP are delighted to invite you to a free breakfast seminar which looks at how this approach has been developed at a policy level and how it is being implemented locally.  One of the key recommendations of the position statement is to improve significantly multi-disciplinary working.  This seminar is an opportunity to discuss some of the key issues in delivering GI projects from a range of perspectives including master planning, regional development, use of  recycled materials, planning and landscape design.
Venue Institution of Chemical Engineers One Portland Place London W1B 1PN This seminar, for LI members only, is sponsored by WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme) the government-funded agency which helps individuals, businesses and local authorities to reduce waste and recycle more, making better use of resources and helping to tackle climate change. Places are restricted, please register as soon as possible.
